ClearWater Lights BMW G310R User manual

  • Hello! I've analyzed the installation manual for the Clearwater Darla LED Light Kit for a BMW G310R motorcycle. This manual guides you through the process of installing the dimmable lights, which can be activated by the high beam or horn. It also contains instructions for proper wiring, mounting the lights, and final adjustments. I'm ready to answer your questions about the product and its installation.
  • What should I do before starting the installation?
    How do I mount the lights?
    Where do I mount the wiring harness?
    How do I connect the switched hot wire?
    What is the purpose of the white wire connected to the yellow wire at the headlight connector?

The headlight assembly will pivot downward, as shows above.
Bike Preparation:
First, park the motorcycle on hard pavement or concrete to insure the
bike will be stable during the installation. If you can mount the bike on a
stand with tie-down straps, this will help secure the motorcycle.
Follow the manufacturers guidelines for disconnecting the battery. This is
important to prevent damage to the electrical system.
Remove the rear seat.

Mount the dimmer to the handlebar using the provided pot
hardware. Follow the photos above for mounting details.
Route the dimmer wire along factory wires to the harness
mounting location (behind the headlight assembly). Use zip ties to
secure in place.

Mounting the Harness
Wire Routing:
Be sure to route wires so that they cannot become tangled or caught
in either a suspension part or steering part. Check movement of both
steering and suspension before riding the bike.
It is sometimes helpful to follow existing wire routing.
Using included zip ties, mount the wiring harness (small black box) to the
area behind the headlight assembly. Reference photo below for harness
mounting location and wiring path for power wires.

With the fuse holder removed, route the black and red power cables from
the Clearwater Lights harness through the wiring trough. Using a pull tool
will make this easier.

Switched Hot Wire: Locate the auxiliary plug and tap the thin RED wire from
the harness to the ORANGE wire as shown below. This tells our harness
when to turn on and off with the key.
High Beam Wire: Remove the rubber boot from the headlight connector,
exposing the 3-wire plug underneath. Using the included Posi-tap, connect
the thin WHITE wire from the harness to the YELLOW wire at the headlight
connector. This will tell our lights to go to 100% when the high beam is on.
Horn Wire: Using a posi-tap, connect one of the white wires from the harness
to the hot wire of the horn. This will tell our lights to go to 100% when the
horn is pressed.
Ensure all wires are free from pinch points and direct heat. Connect the
dimmer to the harness (green connectors).

Finishing the Install
Aligning the Lights:
Ask an assistant to help you with this
procedure. Make sure the bike is on
level ground and have an assistant sit
on the bike. Press a level against the
face of the light, and adjust its angle.
The goal is to adjust the lights so that
the light is level with the ground.
Passengers and luggage may alter
the alignment of the light, so further
adjustments may be needed. You
may find that a slight downward angle
(5 degrees) is helpful.

Do Not Kink The
Grommet
To maintain the
integrity of the water
sealling grommet,
do not kink, deform
or put pressure on
the grommet when
dressing the wires
during install of
Clearwater Lights.
Connect the RED power wire to the fuse included in your kit, then attach it
to the positive terminal on the battery. Connect the BLACK power wire to the
negative terminal on the battery.
Test your lights. The bike needs to be on, engine running for our system to
work properly. Ensure the lights dim when in low beam, and go to 100%
when the high beam or horn are pressed.
